 57307 'Lady Penelope' stands at Carlisle awaiting 'the call'! As one of the DRS Thunderbirds it sits until called upon to rescue a failed Pendolino or Voyager. This is a task that it and the others do not have to undertake very often. 57307 was new to Cardiff Canton as D1901 in September 1965. Under TOPS it became 47225 and spent many years as a Railfreight locomotive then becoming a Freightliner machine. It was rebuilt into 57307 in 2003.
